jQuery Growl 1.0 Released
I’ve just released jQuery Growl 1.0 ‘Preview’ and submitted it to the jQuery Plugin Repository. jQuery Growl is a jQuery based version of Growl for OS X.
The ‘home page’ for this plugin is currently located here on Fragmented Code.
I have lots to do to ‘finish this up’, but this is a pretty solid ‘preview release’ and is now open to the general public. I implemented something very close to this at the office on Friday, and just couldn’t resist releasing a jQuery Plugin (the one at the office uses jQuery, but is tied heavily into the ‘framework’ we’re building there — its currently proprietary, so … don’t bother asking, but we may release bits and pieces to the public at some point).
A co-worker likes to point out my ‘lack of support for IE’ when I release code snippets, and … as such, he pointed out the same ‘lack of support’ with my jQuery Growl ‘demo’ template … my response is,
if you can get IE to act right, I’ll support it
With that said, the demo looks a little ‘odd’ in IE — however, the demo uses a ‘custom’ template, the default template works perfectly fine (last I checked it, which was a while ago, *shrug*). The demo is a perfect example of ‘templating’ the output though … and your welcome to create as many IE-friendly templates as you want …
And, on that note … if you create any custom templates, please, let me know, I’d love to show case them with the plugin …

I like thee idea but the animation in demo is not that much smooth. I love the effect on this page:http://www.panic.com/coda/ just hover the download line and see the effect. can you make the growl messages appear and face using this effect. that would be awesome.

Alex, jQuery Growl is still a ‘preview’ (beta 2 now) release … and the animations are still being worked out, however, the effect on the Coda page is not ‘Growl-like’ … so I won’t be targeting it.
Also, “You can change the default ‘display’ and ‘remove’ effects by overriding $.growl.settings.noticeDisplay and $.growl.settings.noticeRemove functions.” (from the demo page).
Oh and, there is already a Coda Plugin for jQuery in the Plugins Repository, found it the other day while I was looking for something to do (wanted to make something that wasn’t already made by someone else … so, I made Growl).
Thanks for the comment.
